  • Description

    Alison is in the process of completing her masters in Museum Studies, with a particular focus on art and environmentalism. She also has extensive service industry experience from retail to the hotel industry, as well as having spent many years visiting the Gulf Islands.

    I’m a freelance writer and photographer who, having served my time in the chaos of London, England, am looking for a more nature-centric next move. I’ve worked with charities and museums on various sustainability and environmental projects but am also a dab hand with a wheelbarrow.

    We would love to learn more about permaculture and the homestead life, and are thrilled at the prospect of getting our hands dirty and learning in the field! We’re also both passionate about wildlife, wellness & leading a healthy lifestyle. We both play a little music and love trying new activities and experiences.
